Tell me, why did we ever stop speaking up? Why did we stop defending and debating our ideals? And when did we become so conflict-avoidant that we can't even talk about the values that mean everything to us at the dinner table with our own families? We cannot be afraid to speak up for a righteous cause; and if that means coming into conflict with others, so be it. The time has come to give voice to our convictions with class and grace. Whether you are a mother, bar owner, husband, entrepreneur, or manager, you'll learn to: Choose your own battles, Raise your voice constructively, Gather all the facts-before you argue, Become a good listener, Transform into a conflict champion This book is truly for everyone. It will teach you essential skills in debate, conflict, and constructive engagement through realistic scenarios and effective advice. Argue smarter and learn all there is to know about the power of conflict, eliminating tensions, and participating in difficult conversations. I've included many methods of arguing and participating in a conflict that match individual style. My aim is to build up your confidence so that fighting for your principles will always be an option when that moment comes to face down the mob of one or one thousand. Book jacket.
